"... You will be able to do that [buy in Canada and use in U.S.] but will only be able to purchase and transfer the books using the computer not through the Reader directly. When accessing the Reader Store through the device itself it is possible that it will only display the Canadian Store. However, you may use the Reader for PC program in the computer to make the purchases and transfer them to the device."
Being the persistent persnickety type, have asked the warranty question again, but am not holding my breath for an answer.
Also, if Sony's library access is due to an exclusive contract with Overdrive, does that mean the contract is ending? Hmmm... Perhaps there's hope for other ereaders in the future?

Um...the Indian rep that answered you doesn't know what they're taking about. The device will allow you to buy from the US Sony store because you're going to set the location as in the US. The one I played with in the store are set to the US so the person is very wrong.
Yes I did catch the "it is possible that" part but come on, really dum answer!
Maybe because the device isn't sold in the US is why there wouldn't be a warranty with Sony US but I'd like to read the paperwork for the ones up here to see what it says. They usually always say, US & Canada so....who knows.
